Hi Petunia - First of all I am such a learner at this blogging process so bear with me I am typing this and hoping at the same time it will get through to you. Like your sister I have the bone drug every four weeks and I am having Bondronat - same as Zometa. I have had about four doses now and find it okay. I have undergone chemotherapy, surgery and radiotherapy so I have gone through the whole lot. You mention chemo as a last resort - just interested why is that? I originally had the bone metatsis in my shoulder blade and my spine. My first bone scan after chemo completed showed they had improved (one during chemo showed no change) and my last bone scan (second after chemo) showed that they had stayed the same. There was slight concern of something in my lower back but I have a bad back anyway and I am just crossing my fingers that that is what is showing up. I have stayed mainly to traditional treatments (as mentioned above) but do plan over the Christmas break to get fit and start a better diet. I hope that this helps and I wish you well - happy to chat anytime. P.S. I am 47. ... View more
